The consult and psych eval went well. Other than the fact that I wanted to cry because I was weighed and I'm considerably at my all time high weight. Not like that was a shock to me. It's just very depressing. I was a little disappointed when I left because I was told I would have to have a 6 month supervised diet which I was not aware of. I have had coworkers that have had the surgery done and havent had to have the diet so I was shocked. As soon as I left I called the insurance company and they told me the diet was not required. Huge relief as I had not anticipated waiting another 6 months to have surgery. Not that I guess the diet would have been the worst thing in the world. Just a minor setback. Today I go to my family doctor and get a medical clearance from him. That is the last thing on my checklist of things to get my prior authorization sent in to Anthem for approval. So hopefully after I go and drop off the information they need today I can get a time frame as to when the information will be submitted to the insurance. I hope fairly soon as the waiting is already going to kill me. I'm normally a patient person however I'm anxious about this. I'm going to have to be on a 4 week liquid diet prior to surgery. They want me to drop atleast 30 lbs before I have it. I think that's a pretty obtainable goal. I'm thinking I may try to stick to my weight watchers until and possibly start walking again before the liquid diet to drop as much as I can before I have surgery. Anything I lose before could only help my situation.

Also.. I have decided to stop smoking now. I haven't had a cig since Saturday.. only 3 days I know but a huge accomplishment fo rme. I'm really going to try and be good this time. I want to have surgery so bad to become healthy and smoking is surely not healthy and defeats my purpose.. so on the road to quitting for good. I hope I make it!
